RRG Table Talk: Suzy Joran

Meet Suzy Joran, a dedicated Realtor/Associate Broker, wife, mom, and aspiring pickle ball pro! Suzy grew up in Lovettsville, VA.  She and husband John moved to WV in 1992 and raised two children. She states she “married her house” in Cloverdale Heights by living there 25 years! Suzy obtained her VA real estate license while working in mortgage banking in the early 90’s. She said, “I had to make a choice on what path I wanted to take.” Suzy stuck with mortgage banking for awhile, raised her family, and after losing her mother in December 2004, entered college to become an RN to turn her pain into something good and to help people.  After working 13 years as an Elementary school nurse, when she turned 50, she decided to try and pursue her real estate career again full time. She obtained her real estate license in 2017 in West Virginia, VA license in 2018 and became an Associate Broker in 2023.

When asked how Suzy ended up at Roberts Realty Group, she said it started when she called Kim Viands, our Transaction Coordinator, on the way home from the first week of the broker course.  Suzy knew she needed to make some changes and let go of some control (ha ha).  Suzy and Kim have been friends for over 20 years and Suzy mentioned wanting to work for a more local, community based brokerage, and get some back up help to allow more pickle ball time. Kim said she should try coming to work for RRG and the rest is history.

What Suzy enjoys most about working for a grassroots company is the fun and fellowship and always having someone to mastermind with. She said, “It is always a fun environment when I step into the office; the laid back atmosphere is very welcoming and everyone is always willing to listen and troubleshoot when needed.”

Real estate is a competitive environment and over the years Suzy has learned quite a bit, but the main thing she has learned is that real estate is a relationship business and authenticity is key; She always says, “what you see is what you get!” She also states it is not a fast buck; it requires discipline, consistency, and great communication. Joran’s favorite thing about being an agent is the flexibility with her schedule and the relationships she makes along the way with her clients. Over the years she has formed valuable relationships that she will cherish forever.  Suzy hopes to make an impact in her community by helping people with their real estate needs whether they are selling, buying, or renting. She listens, problem solves, and goes above and beyond for her clients.

In the next five years Suzy hopes to be semi-retired while continuing to score on the pickle ball court!
